    Hey guys and gals just looking for some friendly insights into a bit of a problem ive developed. Ill try keep it short but sorry if I dont.

    broke up with the gf a few weeks back and just about getin over that now which is good I guess... So my problem si that now Im single Ive started relyin on myself for that "special" moment a bit too much. I thought i was well past it at 18 but now at 23 im back helping myself again..

    At the start it was every now and then but now its almost daily and im pretty much h*rny all the time... I guess what im getting at is how often do you think its ok to give ur self a treat.

    Cheers lads

    I'm not a guy, but if I'm horny and feel like giving myself a treat, then I will. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. There are some weeks where it's daily and some weeks when it's not so often. It helps release stress and can brighten your day considerably.
    But again, I'm not a guy, so I don't know about any possible limitations in that department.

    Well I am and I agree completely with you. Nothing wrong with it at all OP. So long as it's not obsessive or you're doing it on the street, you're OK.:D And trust me at 23 you're not past it. 83 maybe. Being horny all the time is a sign that your hormonal system and your vascular system is healthy, so look at it that way.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Seems pretty normal to me at your age
    to be giving it a good aul tug - at least
    once a day.

    "almost daily"? thats nothing
    come back when it's 5+ times daily

    relax

    One potential limitation is the loss of male sexual energy (chi, prana etc.) that occurs when a man ejaculates, it takes time to recover this. Too much and it can lead to tiredness. At the OP's age he will recover quickly*

    Other than that it is a nautral healthy part of living.

    * note: This relates to ejaculation. If you separate the two, you can orgasm all you want :-)

    Edit: The above post is based on both tantric and taoist philosophies on sacred sexuality and as such does not constitute medical opinions or advice

    I better take it easy then. May explain my tiredness.:D

    That's the most important thing to take away from this thread OP.

    Sorry, now you're just showing off. Go on admit it. Barely a week in the job and now this? I dunno, you just can't get the mods these days......:D

    op the more the better to be honest i am a firm believer in the practice makes perfect philosophy and my years of jacking off paid of dividends when the time came that i had someone else to do it

    Ehhhh.. Is a mod busy giving false medical advice on this forum? Enough with the "mystical energies of the essence of man" already, the guy's having a **** once a day. Not excessive, OP. Don't worry about it.

    Better get the glasses so you can find the razor :D

    Seriously though, unless you're going madly overboard (5 times a day lol) you're grand.

    Ah here, d'you think 5 times is a lot? :(

    Seriously, OP, everyone is right ... nothing even mildly strange about it, relax and enjoy the good things in life! :)

    If you start to hear a sound like getting the last bit of a drink with a straw youve got a problem. Once a day is fine

    Although the OP of this post has said it himself, there is no scientific basis for that hypothesis whatsoever, and the terms he's talking about don't exist scientifically, nor are they quantifyable. I wouldn't be putting any thought into them (But that's my judgement, the OP of the thread may take them on board at his will).

    OP, once a day is normal, if there is such a thing as normal!

    Perhaps so, but he wasn't posting advice, he was posting "fact". In any event, I'll use report post in future. My advice to the OP stands - don't worry about once a day, worry if you start getting chafed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭louisecm


    OP, really don't think you have anything to worry about it. Unless its effecting your life negatively there is absolutely no harm. An ex of mine was a big fan of that "special moment" throughout our relationship, and sometimes did it 5 or 6 times a day if he had nothing else to do! Seemed normal enough to me! Allow yourself to enjoy the release! :)

    No, I just picked a random number.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Hey Op,

    I'm in the same boat, kind of. My girlfriend is away for a few months and since shes left ive found myself **** alot more. Ie at least twice a day. And im constantly horny! I can only imagine its down the fact that i was so used to having regular sex.

    It got me thinking aswell, but i just put it down to my gf being away. Anyway, its normal, don't sweat it :)

    22 Days and i can lay my hand to rest :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Listen bud dont worry.... its normal i used to be like you too but it will pass.. i founbd that the buzz of it wears off so I stopped wankin for a while and then did it wat a load and what a buzz,,,,,,,,,,, Its far better so if you can stop trust me its worth it...

    Havent had a special moment in about 2 weeks now so im off to the shower in a while to give myself an early and long treat fro the weekend....

    OP its totally normal gf or no gf enjoy ur god given talents


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,683 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    Only possible side effects are blindness* and having one arm developed much more than the other. OP, don't worry, we've all been there.

    * Actually I made that up. Or did I? Maybe I'm using this font to test the hypothesis ...

    OP everyone has their limits and it's only "too much" once you start hurting yourself :)


    Though you may also find the next girl you meet gives crap handjobs compared to what you give yourself :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE

    Us girls aren't familiar with the likes and dislikes of every guy we meet.
    You could always say what turns you on/off and save our poor arms from falling off trying to get it right.
